I'm working on a mobile site and from the various searches and reading (and

$_SERVER['HTTP_X_WAP_PROFILE'] and a fallback $_SERVER['HTTP_PROFILE']
However, when I hit a phpinfo(); page using both an Android MyTouch 3G (2.2)
and an Apple iPhone 3G, there are nothing even close to those. All of the
'HTTP_X_*' headers are absent and there is no HTTP_PROFILE either.

Do I need to enable something in Apache or PHP??
PHP Version 5.3.6

I may be wrong, but as I understand it those headers are for older WAP
browsers, not modern mobile-based browsers which are HTML-capable. The best way
I've found to detect mobile devices is to examine the user agent header. While
it's not 100% reliable it's the best method available.
This is the function I've used in the past to detect mobile devices:
https://gist.github.com/1124666. I haven't used it for a little while so there
are probably new devices out there that it can't detect but it should give you
a good starting point.
